RESUMEN
Heteroatom-bridged planar triphenylboranes, in which the three phenyl groups are bridged at the ortho positions by heteroatoms, are attracting growing attention as one of the heteroatom-containing π-conjugated molecules. Herein, we developed the synthetic method of planar triphenylboranes bridged by two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom, and the substituent on the nitrogen atom is derived into various aryl and alkyl groups. A key intermediate bearing an imino group (-NH-) was synthesized from a bis-triflate precursor bridged by two oxo groups via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of benzyl amine and following debenzylation. The X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the compound exhibits a planar molecular structure which can form a one-dimensionally π-stacked structure. The photophysical and density functional theory studies revealed that their highest occupied molecular orbitals and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) are originated from the triphenylborane moiety, while introducing strong electron-withdrawing groups such as the 4-cyanophenyl group on the nitrogen atom can induce the localization of the LUMO at the aryl groups instead of the triphenylborane moiety.
RESUMEN
The synthesis and characterisation of a series of new Rh and Au complexes bearing 1,2,4-triazol-3-ylidenes with a N-2,4-dinitrophenyl (N-DNP) substituent are described. IR, NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational analyses of the Rh complexes revealed that the N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) behaved as strong π acceptors and weak σ donors. In particular, a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis revealed that the contributions of the RhâCcarbene π backbonding interaction energies (ΔEbb ) to the bond dissociation energies (BDE) of the RhCcarbene bond for [RhCl(NHC)(cod)] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) reached up to 63 %. The Au complex exhibited superior catalytic activity in the intermolecular hydroalkoxylation of cyclohexene with 2-methoxyethanol. The NBO analysis suggested that the high catalytic activity of the Au(I) complex resulted from the enhanced π acidity of the Au atom.
RESUMEN
Lewis acid behavior of an oxygen-bridged triphenylborane (1) to amines and the properties of Lewis acid-base adducts of 1 with amines have been investigated. UV-vis titration and 11B NMR experiments showed the formation of Lewis acid-base adducts of 1 with pyridine, DMAP, quinuclidine, and DABCO, respectively (1·amine). X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the planar shape of 1 was converted to a bowl shape by the formation of 1·amine. Interestingly, 1·quinuclidine, 12·DABCO, and 1·DABCO exhibited dual emissions. Excitation spectra and photoluminescence decay time measurements suggest that the dual emissions were ascribed to two excited species, i.e., [1·amine]* and [1]* generated by photodissociation in the excited states.

An oxygen-bridged planarized triphenylborane has been successfully synthesized. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that the molecule has a complete planarized structure and the shortest C-B bonds among the triarylboranes synthesized to date.
RESUMEN
Regio- and stereoselective arylation of 2-alkenylpyridines with aryl bromides is catalyzed by specific Ru(II)-phosphine complexes affording beta-arylated (Z)-2-alkenylpyridines, in which the aryl moiety is introduced cis to the pyridyl group. This geometrical selectivity is in sharp contrast to the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. [reaction: see text]
RESUMEN
[reaction: see text] A novel, additive-free, and clean conjugate addition reaction of organosiloxanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds catalyzed by a cationic rhodium complex in water-containing solvent has been developed. A plausible reaction mechanism involving the additive-free transmetalation step between the rhodium complex and the silicon reagent is proposed.

RESUMEN
Highly enantioselective 1,4-addition of organosiloxanes to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was found to be catalyzed by a chiral rhodium complex generated from [Rh(cod)(MeCN)(2)]BF(4) and (S)-BINAP. Both (E)- and (Z)-1-alkenyl groups as well as aryl groups can be introduced enantioselectively into the beta-position of a variety of ketones, esters, and amides. [reaction--see text]

The ortho position of the aromatic ring in 2-aryloxazolines and 2-arylimidazolines is selectively arylated and alkenylated with organic halides in the presence of a ruthenium(II)-phosphine complex. In the case of unsubstituted and para-substituted phenyloxazolines, 1:2 coupled products were obtained preferentially, while 1:1 coupled products were obtained in the case of meta-substituted phenyloxazolines and N-acylarylimidazolines. The reaction is proposed to proceed via the generation of an organoruthenium intermediate, formed by oxidative addition of the organic halide, and ortho-ruthenation directed by the coordination of the 2-oxazolinyl or 2-imidazolinyl group to the ruthenium center.
